Natalie "Curling up with a Coffee and a Kindle" Laird's Reviews > After the Silence

I was really excited about this one. I loved the premise of a documentary investigating an good murder on a secluded island. However, the execution was poor. The flashback style is usually great for me, but there was no indication to the reader that it was a different time to the previous paragraph, or how much time had passed. The frequent Gaelic references were never explained either which I found frustrating. There is a huge emphasis on domestic violence, and while I think this is something not to be shied away from, the relevance to the story is weak at times. I liked the actual plot and interesting characters though, and the twists were good.
